Recruitments are bigger in Texas, and Jackson had no shortage of options with 39 scholarship offers. Arkansas, Florida State, LSU, Mississippi State, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Stanford, Tennessee, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt were among the programs that showed interest.
For Saturday’s big decision, Jackson narrowed things down to Texas, Ole Miss and SMU. While SMU campus is close to home, Jackson is choosing to head down the road to Austin and play in the SEC.
Jackson is verbal pledge No. 20 in a top-5 Texas class for 2027. Fans who don’t follow high school football in Garland can get a preview of what Jackson brings to the team by checking out his junior-season highlights in the video below, via Hudl:
